Am I the only one who thinks Deadliest Catch is the best thing on TV?

[Catch22Dem]

Seriously! I love that show.

[hellbound-liberal]

1. Definitely one of my favorite shows! I am fascinated with the awe-inspiring power of the ocean

and I think it's great that these guys repeatedly challenge it. Sig Hansen of the Northwestern and Phil Harris of the Cornelia Marie are our favorites. I like this quote from Harris: "You're not a man until you've pulled out a tooth with a pair of pliers".

3. Captain Phil is going to die out there

If he doesn't get his BP under control. A man with his SEVERELY high BP needs to STOP SMOKING! If not for himself, he needs to do it for those boys.

6. I seriously thought his heart was going to explode on camera.

Yes, it is my favorite show. It's the only true "reality" show I can think of, and provides real drama. My wife and I are hopelessly hooked.

[Catch22Dem]

7. Yeah, I thought so too

And what's he do to calm down? Lights a smoke. I've smoked plenty, often to calm down, but my BP isn't near what his is.

I damn near cried (a little more than damn near) when they pulled that guy out of the water and Captain Jonathan hugged him and they were both in tears. Heart wrenching stuff. That sea can take your live in an instant.

8. Thank god that boat was exactly where it had to be, to save him.

[Catch22Dem]

11. Yeah, they never (seem) to be running side by side like that

Pure luck.

[Beausoir]

2. We are addicted to it.

Great show.

[Catch22Dem]

4. Narrarated by Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs (one of my other favorites)

That's reality TV the way it should be. Mike Row is f'ing hilarious.

[Maineiac]

5. It's a great show

but it reminds me of how quickly we can deplete a life form through over harvesting.

[Little Wing]

9. Close, yes. I couldn't believe the Time Bandit pulled a pot with 151 crabs in it

amazing. And I hope Sig gets that guy back to port in time to get to court

[Catch22Dem]

10. Oh I KNOW!

That was incredible. And I agree, that guy needs to get to Seattle quick. Wasn't it sad when he was reading that fan letter? Poor guy has problems. Hope he gets straightened out.
